jquery ui auto select is open on page load (in IE)

I have an issue with a page that when it loads in IE (11.0.9...) the auto select drop downs that are in a form there - are open by default.

The URL is here (pls leave as un-clickable):

1. //library.schocken-jts.org.il/search.asp?go=adv

and here is a screen shot:
